About Longchamps
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (345°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (165°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–7 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 400 m out (1 in 40). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 9°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 19°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Dinard, 4.9 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots and 2 wind sports spots.
Water about 14°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
